The main contents of Confucius' moral education are "courtesy" and "benevolence". Among them, "courtesy" is the moral standard, and "benevolence" is the highest moral standard. "Rite" is the form of "benevolence" and "benevolence" is the content of "ceremony". With the spirit of "benevolence", "ceremony" can be truly enriched. In terms of moral cultivation, he put forward methods such as determination, self-denial, practice, introspection and courage to reform.

"Learning and knowing" is the dominant idea of Confucius' teaching thought. While advocating shameless and eager to learn, he emphasized the combination of learning and thinking, and at the same time, he should "apply what he has learned" and apply what he has learned to social practice.

Confucius' highest political ideal is to establish a "world for the public" Datong society. The basic characteristics of "Datong" society are: the road is smooth, and "the world is public", so people can "choose their talents, talk about faith and friendship", and "people are not only close to their relatives, but also children, so that they can be provided for in the old age, be strong and useful, have their own strengths, be lonely and sick, and be provided for in the old age."

In the world of great harmony, people in the world love each other and all the people in the world, not only their families, but also their parents and children. Children can get warmth and care, lonely people and disabled people can rely on them, men have their own things, and women have a satisfactory home.

Conspiracy and fraud are not prosperous, theft can not be provoked, roads can not be connected, households can not be closed at night, everyone stresses faith and practice, and talents can be selected. This is an idealized and legendary primitive social scene in the Yao and Shun era, and it is also the highest ideal society that Confucius yearned for.
